The next expansion for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is less than three weeks away for Xbox 360 owners, and a dozen new screenshots have emerged, revealing a bit more about Dragonborn. Set on Solstheim, an island off the coast of Morrowind, the images show off some of the new locales, characters, and foes, as well as, shockingly enough, dragons.

In addition to having new areas to explore and more shouts to master, Dragonborn pits you against the very first of your kind: the original Dragonborn. When you're not busy saving Solstheim from a terrible fate, you can also tame dragons and complete a number of new quests.

Dragonborn is due out on December 4 for the Xbox 360 (sorry, PC and PS3 gamers).

The title is a bit misleading, isn't it?, it's not exactly Morrowind, but near Morrowind.

Other than that, the DLC sounds like lots of fun, I'll definitely be checking it out.

EDIT: What I meant is that it's not exactly in the mainland of Morrowind, but at least it's the closest thing we'll ever get from Bethesda by making something that remotely resembles Morrowind with Skyrim's engine.

Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but is Solstheim not within the Vvardenfell district, therefore in Morrowind?And besides, it's pretty much the closest thing you can get to Vvardenfell before you get to wake up and smell the ashes.

I was surprised to see those big crab shells normally found in Redoran owned areas in Solstheim. Thought those only existed on the main island, especially as it seems it'd be a pain to move.

I guess after Vaardenfell got blown the eff up they decided to relocate.

It has been 200 years since oblivion afterall. Plenty of time to move some crab shells me thinks.

OT: YES, YES, YES! Oh wait why am I getting excited? I made the mistake of getting the ps3 version :(

But if Bethesda fix the problems they have with the ps3 then OMG WANTWANTWANT!

I'd read some of that, Ald Rhun in ruins (a city I loved) but wow, moving from the desert to the coldest place possible. Also I'm just laughing thinking of them floating the crab shell. I figure the shell had to come from Gnisis and that they're irreplaceable as I haven't seen another gigantic crab outside of mods.

OT: The PS3 issue could turn out to be a blessing. I've moved on and played many new games since finishing up on Skyrim many a months ago and have been thinking about starting a new character. With 2 beefy DLCs, I should have another hundred hours to sink into this game when they are finally brought over.

Conditions being that they fix the lag issues once and for all. Otherwise I'm stalling for the Ultimate Edition on PC (if I finally get my rig up to snuff).

Well seems PC and PS3 users get screwed yet again. I knew I was wise to purchase Skyrim for the Xbox but I mean come on Bethesda don't pull another Dawnguard/Hearthfire on them. Anyway I'm interested in this DLC as it finally seems like they are going to be giving us that huge expansion DLC like they promised us. ^.^Now to only get a new Xbox...

What's really farking annoying is that the exclusivity deal was supposed to have expired with Hearthfire, but apparently Bethesda decided to make it a timed 360 exclusive anyway because....they don't like us? Fucked if I know.

SupahGamuh:The title is a bit misleading, isn't it?, it's not exactly Morrowind, but near Morrowind.

Morrowind is a province of which only a little bit, the volcano island of Vvardenfell, was featured in TES III. "Mainland Morrowind" is completely absent from TES III except for the expansion taking us to Mournhold.

It looks like people at Bethesda noticed that people really want Morrowind re-imagined with all the pretty. I personally think Morrowind's age at this point gives it a certain charm that would be lost in some kind of Skyrim conversion, though. I really wish I could get all fanatical about TES like many people here, but I seem to just casually enjoy them. I might jump into a giant chunk of lore if I can find it to have more perspective about the worlds you play in.

Oh, and I'm glad that we're finally getting a "proper" expansion style DLC for Skyrim, it should be awesome.

Ralen-Sharr:screenshot #2 - so the first dragonborn was Cthulhu? That's freaky as hell looking.

That actually bears resemblance to an ascended sleeper, one of the more advanced minions of the late Dagoth Ur. That along with the last picture looking like an ash zombie makes me wonder how a psychotic mutant cult survived after 200 years of their master being dead.

"Closer" eh? At this point I'll take what I can get.... From what I heard the lag issues can't be fixed because its a problem with the ps3's hardware or something. My poor original character will never be able to slaughter vampire scum with his Werewolf rage! Nor will he be able to build a home in the Pale and adopt food children! His lag is very laggy!

That dunmer though, with his red eyes and pointy face. Just make it more low-poly and lower res textures and you got morrowind-style dunmer again. Also, anyone know what that "volcano" is in the background of the picture of that netch? Never got around to exploring much of Solstheim, so I don't know if it's part of solstheim, or Vvardenfell in the distance.
